LINK BUTTON.

APPLICATION FILED SEPT. 6, 1921.

Patented June 6, 19221 ,5 K/awams- ATTO R N EY LINK BUTTON.

Application filed September 6, 1921.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ELIOTT KLAwANs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented newand useful Improvements in Link Buttons, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to cuff buttons, the general object of theinvention being to provide a button, the two parts of which areconnected together by links, with means for separating one part from thelink connection so that the device can easily be attached to anddetached from a culf and at the same time permitting a certain amount ofplay or movement between the parts to permit them to accommodatethemselves to the cuff and to permit a certain amount of movementbetween the meeting parts of the cuff.

Another object of the invention is to make a detachable connectionbetween a part of the button and the link means in the form of a snapfastener composed of a female part and a male part.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described,

I illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed outin the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which 2- Figurel is a view of a cuff button constructed in accordance with myinvention.

Figure 2 is a similar View with one part separated from the link means.

Figure 3 is a View of the rear face of the detachable part.

Figure 4 is a similar view of the other part.

In these views 1 and 2 indicate the two parts of the cuff button whichare made of Specification of Letters Patent.

any suitable shape and which are connected together by the links 3 sothat the parts are flexibly connected together. The part 1 is detachablyconnected with the link connection by means similar to the snap fastenernow on the market, such means consisting of a socketed projection 4 onthe rear face of part 1 and a rounded projection 5 on link 6 forengaging the socket. This link 6 forms the end link of the linkconnection 3. The parts are so formed that the projection 5 will befrictionally held in the socket in projection 4. the same as the twoparts of the snap fastener are held together.

I prefer to make the end links 6 and 6 of bow-shape and to connect theselinks together by the oblong central link .6. Link 6 is held to the part2 by the strap 2.

It will thus be seen that the cuff button can be easily placed in thebutton holes or removed therefrom by detaching the part 1 from the linkconnection and when the parts are in position in the button holes of thecuff the same effect as a link cuff button will be secured.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, providedthat such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

NV hat I claim is A button of the class described comprising a pair ofbutton parts, links connected with one part, a socketed projection onthe outer part, the end links being of bow-shape, a member pivoted tothe end link and having a rounded projection for engaging the socket insaid socketed part and a strap connecting the other bowlink with itsbutton aart.

1 In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

ELIOTT KLAXVANS.
